I am located in El Paso Tx and just got sleeved Oct 15/2012. Is there anybody else out there who is local.

I have been at a stand still for over 5 months. I am scared my body won't lose anymore. I am not at my goal weight I still exercise daily, I have not gained any weight but have not dropped any. I tried the liquid diet for 3days to put my body in shock I lost a pound but then the next week I was right back at my stall weight. What can I do to get my body a jump start. I want to lose 15 more pds? I am also coming up on my year anniversary I wanted to be my goal weight by then!!!!

Hello, you are not alone here, this is we're you will have a lot of support. We have all had a loved one past before and it is hard as crap especially when you are going threw stuff your self. So in saying all that, be strong stay focused on the positive and know that your grandfather and God knew what was best. I do not know him but he sounds like he was a good man who lived a great life,being married to your grandmother that long means he adored her and that is something special. I wish you and your family the best and will keep you in my prayers. And always remember this when my grandmother got sick with cancer and on her death bed, I wanted to sit on her lap too,well me being a big girl then picked her up and put her on my lap and held her tight. She had lost a lot of weight and I held her until she feel asleep. I love my grandma too she past valentines day last year. So hold your grandmother like you never held her before in your lap this time. The prayers going out to you and your family.

Just wondering why can we not drink with Straws?

I am located in El Paso TX and was just sleeved on Oct 15/2012. Are there any local sleevers out there.

I am loving it and so Happy I did it. I feel good.

Thanks, I miss straws too.

I am for trying anything that has protein, I am tired of the shakes. I am going to get me one.

Hello, I am 3 1/2 week post op and still have this problem. But girl it's not killing you, you made a great decision this is just a little bump in the road it will pass. Congratulations on your surgery. And just take it easy drink slow and massage your throat when you feel like a burp is coming and it will pass. Stay positive and this to shell pass

Yes it is a lack of Protein, My Dr said you have to consume at least 30 to 60 grams of protein a day to not have hair lose. I have been blessed to not have any hair loss because I do a lot of protein like shakes, chicken pureed of course. Don't worry not everybody has hair loss but try to get as much protein in as you can. A lack of food oh know we can't eat alot any way. It's just what you eat. I hope this help

Hello, I am a Hairstylist for 14 years and just got sleeved Oct 15/2012. What you need to do is Protein,Protein, protein. If you can not do the protein then you can go buy these Vitamins called hair skin and nails tablets. They are great,also Biotin tablets alone are good too for hair loss. But a lot of people loose there hair after this surgery because of the lack of protein in the body. You will not loose all your hair but you will have some heavy shedding. That will go away in time. But if you want to go to your beautician have here to give you a protein or keratin treatment it ill stop the hair loss until you get the tablets or more protein. I hope this helped?

A nice swim suite especially when me and my husband go to the Bahamas for our anniversary. I am so excited.

I agree can't wait to go shopping at VS. fir the matching bra and underwear set also.

Surgery weight 221/ surgery date oct 15-2012 Pre op weight 217 Post op 212 Today 11-2-12 196 I am 25 pds lighter and can't wait for the rest to come off.

Hello all I was sleeved oct 15th. I am feeling pretty good down 25 pds and can't wait for more to come off. It's been tough keeping any puréed down but I am trying my best. I am trying to keep drinking water and protein but I get full to quick I can't keep a lot down. Mashed potatoes is my BFF. It's the only thing I can keep down. I also had a few bad days throwing up hurts. But I am ready to overcome this journey and be back to normal. And with God and my supporters I will do it.

I also was sleeved on Oct 15' I had the same pain you are talking about. After my first week it went away and I also just have itching around the sites. It will get better and I hope all is well with your ct scan that stuff they have you drink is nasty. But I will keep you in my prayers.

Hello, I am starving too. I had my surgery oct 15th and I am so hungry. Only thing I do is eat sugar free Jello,chicken noodle Soup with out the noodles,vegetable sop no meat,and drink Water and Protein shakes. My family still has to eat so it is so tempting to eat. I know how you feel so tried all soft food, baby food like apple sauce,that's all I could do. But I hear it will get better I hope so for our sake. Good Luck

Good morning, Has any one every had really bad dry mouth, and in the middle of the night I feels really like have cotton in your mouth. What do you do?

Thank you Ladies, I am going to try everything. And my voice is much softer I can't yell at all. I hope my throat heals up soon it hurts bad.

I just had my surgery oct 15 2012 and I am still on liquids. I have not had a bowel movement since the day before my surgery. My stomach hurts like crazy, everybody is telling me to gas but that is not happening frequently either. I think I might have gas four times since my surgery. When does things go back to normal and how long does it take to have your first poop?. (Sorry tmi)

Wow that's great. I am drinking some hot tea now and hopefully will have one by the end of the day. Thanks a lot for the response. Also I guess I'm not drinking enough you are drinking a lot. How do you hold all that down?

Then you got it made. Any time you put God first life is so much easier. Please friend me I am new to all this, just had my surgery oct 15 and still need alot of support it always helps.
